September 1!

It’s September 1st! That means that the Florida Teams are ready to start their commenting and grapevine contest. Woo Hoo! Let’s go North Florida! Okay, so let’s give you something to comment about.

On my "address bar" I have the blog abbreviated to DEN_NFL. NFL makes me think football, when I am really more of a hockey fan. Anyway, can we come up with a new name? I mean, we have the Bucs, the Sting Rays, the Lightening, Dolphins —- what can Team North Florida’s Mascot be? What can our team name be? Comment below! And South Florida, be nice now. 🙂

Pioneers outdated? It’s a term used everyday in our constantly changing world!

A definition: 2. one who is first or among the earliest in any field of inquiry, enterprise, or progress: pioneers in cancer research.

And some more:
8. to be the first to open or prepare (a way, settlement, etc.).
9. to take part in the beginnings of; initiate: to pioneer an aid program.
10. to lead the way for (a group); guide.

When thinking about our own country’s pioneers, and what they stood for and all they accomplished, it makes me proud when I’m referred to as a pioneer in my field. That means more than I can express here in this blog.

It may not be a “cute & fuzzy” term but it certainly isn’t as outdated as one may think. Just do a google and see for yourself.

Well Danielle, let the games begin. Let’s see now, a team mascot, considering my driving experiences with you[:-)]I kind of think Explorers would work, although, Navigators would fit too. I love getting lost in the DEN and unitedstreaming. Thank you, you have opened many doors. Go South Florida!
